Brown Rice Salad With Sultanas, Spring Onion & Pine Nuts
Brown Rice Salad With Sultanas, Spring Onion & Pine Nuts
This salad is perfect for those busy days or weeks! No cooking required, you can throw it together in under 15 minutes and it lasts in the fridge for a few days (just leave the dressing separate).It’s so versatile, you can serve this alongside any meat/protein you like. I do it with chicken and lamb often.
